Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Boil the eggs in a pot of water for 6-7 minutes for a jammy yolk, or 8-10 minutes for a firm yolk. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel and set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the gochujang and water, mixing well to combine and form a smooth sauce.
  4. Add the peeled boiled eggs to the pan and gently toss them in the gochujang sauce until they are evenly coated.
  5. Serve the spicy gochujang eggs immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

Adjust the amount of gochujang to your preferred spice level. A drizzle of sesame oil can be added at the end for extra flavor.
